Bilateral congenital coronary artery fistulae complicated with a giant coronary artery aneurysm is a very rare condition. A coronary artery aneurysm is a coronary artery dilatation that exceeds the diameter of normal adjacent segments or the diameter of the patient's largest coronary vessel by 1.5 times. The complications associated with a coronary artery aneurysm include thrombosis, embolization, rupture, vasospasm, congestive heart failure and infectious endocarditis. We report on a 63-year-old woman presenting with severe heart failure related to bilateral coronary artery fistulae. A giant coronary aneurysm was noted in the right coronary artery, and a tortuous coronary artery fistula was noted in the left coronary artery. Symptoms were relieved after surgical intervention for bilateral coronary artery fistulae.
双侧先天性冠状动脉瘘合并巨大冠状动脉瘤非常罕见。冠状动脉瘤是指冠状动脉扩张,超过正常相邻节段或患者最大冠状动脉直径的 1.5 倍。与冠状动脉瘤相关的并发症包括血栓形成、栓塞、破裂、血管痉挛、充血性心力衰竭和感染性心内膜炎。我们报告了一位 63 岁女性,因双侧冠状动脉瘘导致严重心力衰竭。在右冠状动脉中发现巨大冠状动脉瘤,在左冠状动脉中发现迂曲的冠状动脉瘘。双侧冠状动脉瘘手术后症状缓解。
